Mercer assistant Bill Mason named Titans football head coach

Mercer County Senior High School principle Terry Yates officially introduced Bill Mason as the Titans' second head football coach early Friday afternoon.

The Harrodsburg Herald was on hand for an exclusive sit-down interview with the Titans' 2008 defensive coordinator.

"The last few days have been a blur. Things didn't start the way I hoped it would, but things ended the way I had hoped," Mason said.

"That's all that matters.".

Mason said it was when he learned the news last night that he'll always remember.

"Mr. Yates came to Danville and spoke with me face to face. That meant a lot."

Mason had turned his telephone off to focus on practicing baseball with his son, so Yates arrived at the ballpark to deliver the big news.

"It was a good situation."
